Question

The casting is part of a search that's now been going on for weeks. Casting director Fiona Weir told CBBC Newsround they're looking for a unique girl for the role: "The wonderful thing about Luna is that she can have any sort of look at all.

Hi

'Casting' is the process of finding the right actor for a role. Her comment 'any sort of look at all' isn't a negative. The 'at all' is really an intensifier of 'any'.

  • It means that they don't have any fixed requirements for the image/appearance of the character, so the girl who will be cast in that role can have any sort of appearance/image.
  • They are not just looking at blue eyed blondes for example.
